About

Hello. My name is Doug...

I'm a mature visual UI / UX designer from the North-East of England, with proficiencies in UI Design, Graphic Design, Web Design and UX. I enjoy helping people realise their potential for growth, both organically and financially and I love digital design and creating things that allow people get what they need, when they need it, as easily as possible; removing the need for a user to think is an ultimate goal :) The web changes every day, and sometimes it's hard to keep up. Companies don't always have the time to spend keeping up with the latest design trends and updating web pages. So I try to keep up to date and educate myself constantly, and hopefully making myself useful in the process. I won't tell you that you need something when you don't, and I will always try to find the best possible solution for your problem, not just to make money, but to save you some.

I'm motivated, with a dedicated interest in self-development and education, a belief in lifelong learning, and an appreciation of constructive criticism and discussion as an essential part of design and team growth.

As Senior Designer, I have worked on projects for leading global business including:

The Royal College of Language & Speech Therapists

NHS

Astra Zenica

Novartis

Pfizer

Diageo

RBS Bank

SAGE

I enjoyed my work and I like people, so I want to work with them, it doesn't matter whether you are a small one man band or a huge corporate machine... lets talk.

If you need a Visual UI / UX Designer please do get in touch, I'll be more than happy to discuss your functional and creative needs.

Portfolio

It is important to make a web site or app attractive, but it must also be functional and be able to solve problems for the user, that's the point of user centred design... removing the thinking and facilitating the doing. Without having to re-learn a new system, every time.
